Your Share of Fannie, Freddie Losses: $1,300

-Smart Money

Fannie Mae said Wednesday it lost $2.4 billion during the fourth quarter of 2011 and $16.9 billion for the full year.

It has had worse years, remarkably. Fannie lost about $60 billion in 2008 and $72 billion the following year–two of the 10 largest corporate losses ever. Sibling Freddie Mac is responsible for a third, a $51 billion loss in 2008.

Tom Woods Show Update

-Tom Woods

Friends, I’m grateful for everyone’s advice on the show. It looks like it’s going to be a reality, as an Internet-based program (M-F for an hour) to begin with and then we see where it goes from there. Peter Schiff has generously donated half the amount I’ll need for equipment, and his people are helping get the show off the ground. I’ll also be hosting Peter’s show more regularly.

But with your generous support, I'm hoping to expand this ad buy into Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Alaska, North Dakota, and Hawaii.

The truth is, right now, our nation is over $15 TRILLION in debt.

More and more Americans are realizing that we must change course - and FAST.

But a recent study of my opponents' economic plans showed that every one would only INCREASE our federal debt!

My plan? It does exactly what I say it will do - it enacts REAL spending cuts and puts our nation back on the path to prosperity.

But it's not just the facts about their economic plans my opponents are trying to hide. Just consider:

*** Whether it's the $700 billion TARP bailout, traditional marriage, abortion, the Second Amendment, or taxes and spending, Mitt Romney has been on both sides of virtually every issue important to conservative voters;

*** From supporting TARP, to Cap-and-Tax, to the individual mandate central to "ObamaCare," to getting paid $1.6 million by Freddie Mac to keep the housing bubble expanding, the truth is, Newt Gingrich has a record even Barack Obama would be proud of;

*** Rick Santorum voted to DOUBLE the size of the Department of Education, give millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, and even voted with Big Labor against a National Right to Work Act to end forced union dues nationwide.

Now media reports are saying Big Labor is hoping for a Barack Obama vs. Rick Santorum showdown this November.

That way, it's a win for the union bosses regardless of the outcome!

These are hardly conservative records.

On the other hand, I've spent more than 30 years consistently advocating the Founding principles of individual liberty, free markets, sound money, and constitutional government.

The American people are realizing this fact, which is why I'm drawing crowds by the thousands at each rally I hold across the country.

It's also why I have a real shot at winning the Republican nomination because of my campaign's incredible success at picking up delegate after delegate below the radar.

And when I WIN the Republican nomination, it's going to wreck the establishment's Big Government, big spending gravy train.

But with Super Tuesday fast approaching, it's critical my campaign has the funds to turn out as many supporters of mine as possible and run TV ads like "Three of a Kind."

Inflation Is A Tax And The Federal Reserve Is Taxing The Living Daylights Out Of Us

-The Economic Collapse

Ronald Reagan once famously declared that inflation is a tax, but sadly most Americans did not really grasp what he was talking about. If the American people truly understood what inflation was doing to them, they would be screaming bloody murder about monetary policy. Inflation is an especially insidious tax because it is not just a tax on your income for one year. It is a continual tax on every single dollar that you own. As your money sits in the bank, it is constantly losing value. Over time, the effects of inflation can be absolutely devastating. For example, if you put 100 dollars in the bank in 1970, those same dollars today would only have about 17 percent of the purchasing power that they did back then. In essence, you were hit by an 83 percent "inflation tax" and all you did was leave your money in the bank. So who is responsible for this? Well, the Federal Reserve controls monetary policy in the United States, and the inflationary monetary policy that the Fed has gotten all of us accustomed to is taxing the living daylights out of us. This is madness, and it needs to stop.

Help Ron Paul in Washington!

-Daily Paul

The help of fellow patriots from OUTSIDE Washington State is desperately needed on caucus day March 3rd. In Washington State, most caucuses are held in pooled locations where in many cases over 200 precincts meet in one location. We have a need for 150 out of state patriots to help keep the caucus counts honest, man tables and be a presence at pooled locations in the Seattle area from 8:30 AM to approx 11:30 AM. The most important things that anyone out of state can do to help Washington right now is:

Contact every RP supporter you know in Washington State and go to www.waronpaul.com and “submit a supporter”

Many caucus goers don’t understand how the caucus process works and have never been to one before. By volunteering you’ll have the chance to keep the process honest, help new caucus goers and be a big part in delivering a WIN for Dr. Ron Paul!
